This forum seems to be dying but I guess it's worth a shot in the dark. Does anybody know if they make a portable HDD with a firewire port. I don't want one that needs to be plugged into the wall but rather just get it's power from the firewire port on my laptop. Or if there is a such an animal as a firewire to mini-usb cable, I can use that as well. Thanks in advance.
